The stakes are just too high.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Yes the Feb 28 economic boycott is real! The organization behind it is The People’s Union USA founded by @theonecalledjai.bsky.social Here is the website: theonecalledjai.com if you scroll to the bottom of the website, it explains what the 24 hour economic blackout entails . 1/2

Ok that made me laugh

Several House Dems and I just had a press conference with families affected by Chris Carr’s lawsuit to try to eliminate Section 504 disability accommodations. Carr’s office has denied the lawsuit seeks to end 504 entirely, but it’s right there in the complaint. Carr should dismiss the lawsuit now.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Well done!

🚨 Trump & Elon Musk illegally revoked $80 MILLION in congressionally appropriated FEMA funds from NYC’s bank account yesterday—money previously disbursed for shelter & services—says NYC Comptroller Brad Lander. Lander is demanding that the state pursue legal action. Statement:

The world's richest man, not elected to anything, is seizing dictatorial powers in defiance of the law, congress, courts, the president, and the American people. Madness. Unless you want to live under dictatorship, call every member of Congress to demand they stop this immediately: (202) 224-3121.

A must read.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

The fire departments around the country deserve medals of freedom right now. From Palisades to Eaton and now this awful crash. The way they work together to save lives coming from all over the country no matter what color the state (territory) is

If you can watch it without crying, I highly recommend doing so! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UdH...

Trump’s about to preside over the strongest job market in history. But just like his father's fortune, he didn’t build it – he inherited it.

Debunking can be a fun way to find an audience in science communication, but I think it can be over-relied on. We should be celebrating more than we are defending, not just because it’s less miserable, but also because it’s good marketing!

I’m just going to leave this here.

PAY ATTENTION! If OUR country was not in the process of moving forward, THEY wouldn’t be working so hard to take us back.

Just in case you were wondering! Lock in!

A thread worth a read through! 26pts long.

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.

They really banned TikTok before they banned sending weapons to Israel during a genocide.

It’s interesting that in a country who’s people are drowning in medical debt, college debt, and who’s children are gunned down in schools, an app takes priority, especially one that propped up businesses and gave billions to the average American via content creation. What a nightmare.

Leader Hakeem Jeffries makes it clear: Democrats will never allow billionaires & Republicans take away earned benefits (Social Security & Medicare) from hard-working Americans

I’m sure he wants the history of it all told his way.

VIRGINIA, the Jan 7 election will determine if Republicans have a trifecta in the state or not!!! And voting is already well underway! We have a one seat majority in the Senate AND the House of Delegates. Two seats are up in the Senate and one in the House of Delegates, 🧵

If I ever write another novel I’m forcing the publisher to give me 30 covers all by different artists.
